    You seem to know far more about Manchester than the rest of us... no prizes for guessing why.

    I'm aware that giving MP's the chance to vote on it again was in the last Conservative manifesto.

    The fox hunting ban's loopholes make it ineffective
    Even the upper echelons of the hunting community agree the ban isn’t really working


    Is there a loop hole in the murder laws that make them ineffective?

    Except it isn’t

    It’s about searching for things to use in their racist and anti muslim campaigns

    The link dbc posted shows them in their true colours

    Even John Major gets it. <applause><applause><applause><applause>

    In an extraordinary blue-on-blue broadside aimed at the PM, he roasted her negotiating red lines, as “not only grand folly ... also bad politics”.
    Speaking to the Creative Industries Federation, the pro-EU statesman went on: “Our negotiations, so far, have not always been sure-footed.
    Some agreements have been reached but, in many areas, only because the UK has given ground.”
    The UK “will be weaker and less prosperous – as a country and as individuals” from quitting the bloc, he insisted. “Although it grieves me to admit it – our divorce from Europe will diminish our international stature,” he said.

    “Indeed, it already has. For decades, we British have super-charged our influence around the world by our closeness to the US -which policy divisions are lessening - and our membership of the EU - which we are abandoning.
    As a result, we are already becoming a lesser actor.”
    He called for MPs to be given a free vote on the final deal Mrs May strikes, claiming it would help heal the country's Brexit debate wounds.

    Maplins in administration citing increased costs of goods because of the Brexit related weak pound. 3200 jobs going...

    TC has PM'd me. His absence has nothing to do with a fall out on here.
    He finally accepted Brexit was a **** idea and he fooked it up when his and his mates jobs were offshored to Frankurt . He istoo proud to admit he called it wrong/

    From the same speech

    It is not my purpose to stir controversy, but the truth must be spoken. The ultra Brexiteers have been mistaken – wrong –in nearly all they have said or promised to the British people.

    The promises of more hospitals, more schools, lower taxes, more money for transport were electioneering fantasy. The £350 million a week for the NHS was a ridiculous phantom: the reality is if our economy weakens – as is forecast – there will not only be less money for the NHS, but for all our public services.

    We were told that nobody was threatening our place in the Single Market. That tune has changed.

    We were told that a trade deal with the EU would be easy to get. Wrong again: it was never going to be easy, and we are still not sure what outcome will be achieved.

    We were told “Europe can whistle for their money” and we would not pay a penny in exit costs. Wrong again. Europe didn’t even have to purse her lips before we agreed to pay £40 billion to meet legitimate liabilities.

    I could go on. But suffice to say that every one of the Brexitpromises is – to quote Henry Fielding – “a very wholesome and comfortable doctrine to which (there is) but one objection: namely, that it is not true.”.

    People should pause and reflect: if the Brexit leaders were wrong in what they said so enthusiastically before – are they not likely to be wrong in what they say now?

    So basically he is saying Chesh should stop lying to us and start sucking it up.
